Lake Oswego Parks and Recreation is organizing high school city basketball leagues. Get a team together to play.

Calling all high school basketball enthusiasts — it's time to sign up for another great season of recreational basketball.

Leagues for high school boys and girls are forming. Girls teams are for grades 9 through 12; boys teams will be split into freshmen/sophomore and junior/senior divisions. Managers must create the team with a minimum of eight players before players can register online at loparks.org, by calling 503-675-2549 or in person at Palisades. Registration fee includes team T-shirt. Registration deadline is Nov. 2. Questions? Call the Parks and Recreation office at 503-675-2549.
